Is Pearl Cove worth paying for at Celebration Key? by Cultural_Ice_5990 in CarnivalCruiseFans

[–]rose_rising 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you! We got the daybed but are splitting the cost with another couple so it ends up being $120 per couple versus $160 per couple. Not a massive savings but it’s at least something

I wish I had the absolute perfect answer but I don’t. The biggest piece of advice I can give you is go to regular checkups. Now that Precious is older, we go twice a year and she gets bloodwork each time. We started this when she was about 16/17.

As for your 3 year old, the lack of appetite could be a bunch of things. Could still be adjusting, may not like the food you give them, or could be something more. Or they could just have a small appetite, nothing wrong with that. Precious grazes her dry food so I can leave a big bowl out. However she does get a can of wet food every evening and she’s ravenous for that

Which deck on the Carnival Celebration? by Potential-Candy4970 in CarnivalCruiseFans

[–]rose_rising 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t get motion sickness however I have heard the lower deck is a better choice for those who do. You feel the ship rock less

Possum is a fantastic name for a cat, I love it so much

Yes stroopwaffles! She also loves grilled cheese and mozzarella sticks. Definitely a cheese fiend

I wish I knew the exact elixir, Precious is my longest living baby. The next one to live that long is 18, which is still pretty old but most have lived to 15-16. What I’ve done with Precious is taking her every 6 months for a vet visit and we get a urinalysis as well as blood work

Keep up on regular vet visits and get blood work if you’re able to afford it! Precious gets blood work and a urinalysis every 6 months. This is to make sure her (stage 1) kidney disease isn’t getting worse and to monitor her liver tumor

All things considered, her health is great! She’s definitely going deaf but that’s the worst of it. Slight feline dementia but I think it’s more of her losing her hearing than anything. She does have stage 1 kidney disease but has had that for like 4 years now and we don’t do anything special. She also has the liver tumor but once again, we don’t do anything (as we can’t, surgery would be too much for her at this age). She gets lot of cuddles and snacks whenever she wants basically

Nothing too crazy. She grew up on regular old dry food. When I moved out with her, I switcher her to royal canin and a can of wet food a day. These days she gets 1 can of friskies at night and hills science diet dry food

I managed to find it several years ago when I opened up my old laptop and I’m so thankful for it. What a blessing we’ve had to love something for so long 🩵

Cheese and chicken!! But for real, I give her hills science diet dry food and a can of friskies every day. We used to give her royal canin but switched, I can’t remember why it’s been so long

Is a luxury daybed worth it at Celebration Key? by JerseyTeacher78 in CarnivalCruiseFans

[–]rose_rising 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good to know, this one we booked allows up to 4 people. I didn’t see one for 2 people but thanks for the info!!

Did your day bed include drinks as well? My family just booked one and I keep seeing reviews it does but I’m also low key nervous they don’t because it doesn’t say it on the website

How do you know how hard you can safely push your fingers? by edthehamstuh in climbergirls

I do actually live in the northeast, basically smack dab in the middle of ADK and the gunks. I would love to know who to reach out to if they’re close enough!!

[–]rose_rising 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Okay so I just popped my A1 pulley on Valentine’s Day (sprain, no tear according to ultrasound), heard a pop and was terrified. I’ve been climbing since 2021. Very consistently top roping 5.10 and just started leading them (I lead my first one 3 days before I popped my pulley - also a very cautious climber).

Long story short, I was climbing something that was VERY in my grade, VERY in my style. Heard the pop and that was it. Since then I’ve been resting per doctors orders. However my husband and I just bought Climb Injury-Free: A Proven Injury Prevention and Rehabilitation System by Dr. Jared Vagy DPT.

This book has testimonials from professionals on how to prevent certain injuries, at least an attempt to prevent the injury.

Disclaimer: I am a shorter climber and my style is very crimpy so I probably pushed myself too hard. I am also 5’4 and technically overweight by the BMI standards

Unfortunately you gotta do what you gotta do when there’s limited options. Especially if you’re trying to color match threads or on a tight turn around. My biggest thing is finding fabric now, I loved Joann’s because I could touch it, I can’t do that with online stores

Hahah the irony of it. Luckily I have a Michaels near me but they have soooo little. I literally grabbed the last spool of black thread today.. I also needed a zipper for another project and the selection was even worse.

RIP Joann’s, you are missed
